| | Darius Milhaud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Milhaud (like his contemporaries Paul Hindemith, Bohuslav Martinu and Heitor Villa-Lobos) was an extremely rapid creator, for whom the art of writing music seemed almost as natural as breathing. | | | Darius Milhaud (September 4, 1892 – June 22, 1974) was a French-Jewish composer and teacher. | | | His compositions are particularly noted as being influenced by jazz and for their use of polytonality (music in more than one key at once). |

| | The Musical Times: Darius Milhaud 1892-1974 |
| | Milhaud, who had for some years been an invalid confined by rheumatic afflictions to a wheelchair, nursed by his devoted wife, returned to France in 1947, and was offered the post of professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire. | | | By 1917, when Claudel took Milhaud to Rio de Janeiro as a member of his ambassadorial staff, the composer had set La brebis égarée of Jammes as an opera, Alissa, prose excerpts from Gide’s La Porte étroite for voice and piano, and the first two parts (Agamemnon and Les choéphores) of Claudel’s Oresteia trilogy. | | | There can be few active musicians able to remember a time when Milhaud’s name was not familiar, fewer still who can claim knowledge of the vast quantity of work produced during a long career by this incessantly prolific and versatile composer. |

| | Darius Milhaud (1892–1974), one of the 20th century's most prolific composers, belongs historically to the coterie of French musical intellectuals and composers who, loosely bonded by their initial embrace of Jean Cocteau's aesthetic ideas and their allegiance to composer Eric Satie's spiritual-musical tutelage, were known as Les Six. | | | Milhaud's first opera was a setting of Jammes's La Brebis égarée (composed between 1910 and 1915 but not performed until 1923); and between 1913 and 1922 he wrote several sets of incidental music to Claudel's works based on Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Protée, Les Choëphores, and Les Euménides. | | | In 1929 Milhaud wrote the first of many film scores, which included music for Jean Renoir's Madame Bovary, and during the 1930s he wrote cello and piano concertos; orchestral works on folk themes, such as the Suite provençal and Le Carnaval de Londres; cantatas; chamber music; songs; and his first music for children. |

| | Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) |
| | Milhaud is an European composer which acted mainly during the years between the two world wars and had been one of the most important figures of "Neoclassicism", whose basic founder was Stravinsky, as well as member of the French team of "The Six" ("Les Six"). | | | The musical output of Milhaud is very large and somehow unequal (from view of quality), but it covers a very large time period and includes a lot of tendencies and genres of Milhaud's era. | | | Milhaud's music was progressively affected by elements of popular music and accepted influence from dancing and jazz genres and also incorporated music ideas from "cafes" and "music halls". |

| | For Decades, Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) and Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), the best-known French composers of the period between the two world wars, occupied the same pigeonhole: they both produced music that was at once unmistakably modem and irresistibly likable. | | | As modernism's cranky austerity recedes, Poulenc and Milhaud will be reevaluated as individual composers. | | | As relative contemporaries who helped define a modernist style between the two world wars, Milhaud and Poulenc have been yoked together by journalists and critics. |
